BEDA: Day 16

16042010

I used to collect frogs. Not the real kind, but things with frogs on them like light switch covers and notebooks and stuffed animals. I have a few that I still like or are sentimental and put on display, but most of them live in a box.

Then I moved on to stars. I didn’t really collect them, but I just acquired lots of things will stars on them.

But I’ve never really been a long-term collector of anything– especially after high school. Moving all your possessions over and over again every year makes you think about what you really value– since you’re going to have to pack it, haul it down or up some stairs, load it into a car, unload it, carry it up or down some stairs, and unpack it. I’m trying to get out of that mentality now that I’m a “grown up” who doesn’t have 3 different addresses at the same time anymore.
